We would like to thank Mr. Bickel and Mrs. DelCollo for putting so much time, work and effort into planning the Veterans History Project for us, planning our trip to Washington D.C. and finally having our multimedia projects presented at this year's art show. We would also like to thank all involved in this such as Mrs. Noll and Mrs. Weddle. But, we would most like to thank Mr. McKowen for providing us with information on what it was like to be a veteran of the First Gulf War. Thank you very much.
